I have no problem with a 25 year minimum sentence for trafficking illegal weapons. I just don't think it will do any good.
On the contrary, I think a 25 year sentence would do wonders - that gun selling crack dealer would be off the streets for 25 years. That's a lotta crack and a lotta guns he can't sell to people - be they youth or undercover cops.
I agree it wouldn't be a deterrent for some people, but it would definitely do some good.
Nope. The very first judge will throw it out. And you'll just have more opportunities for young entrepreneurial crack dealers if they dont. The same (maybe more?) amount of crack and guns will get sold.
